BREWING UP A STORM
Bean Theory
Since opening in May 2023, Bean Theory has quickly established itself as a favourite coffee spot in Cambridge. Overlooking the Mill Pond and within walking distance of Lammas Land and the Backs, Bean Theory celebrates third-wave coffee with its speciality, in-house roasted blends. This summer, it reached a new milestone by opening a second location at Waresley Park Estate. Located in the estate’s stables and adjacent to the Roastery, the new venue offers a spacious indoor seating area along with a courtyard area, perfect for alfresco coffee stops. “With both Bean Theory sites, we aim to create community hubs where everyone feels welcome,” says Bean Theory founder Ben Griggs. @beantheorycambridge | beantheory.co.uk
